The story of stuff. Annie Leonard

This video is very important to future yound designer, as it highlights the important and the imperativeness to create an environmentally and sustainable design s for products.

I learn that it is very important to look at different materials and resources that could be used when designing and producing our products, this video highlights how we are using most of our resources and using them fast.
When designing our products we have to consider who are we exploiting in order to produce our products, annie talks about the Corporate giants and the governments who exploits the third world country without mercy to decrease the output of raw materials and maximize profit and keep the shareholders happy, But whose keeping the environment or the third world community happy once the foreign government and the corporate giants are done taking their infinite resources.
Another thing that we should think about when designing our products is our procedures when producing these products, from waste, energy and means of productions.
